Question
![A group of college students throw a party for their graduation. They decide that each of them pick a type of
pizza, share all the pizzas and split the total cost evenly. A Tragedy of the Commons problem is likely for
each of the following reasons except
O each pizza is both excludable and rival in consumption.
O when one person eats, he may not consider how his choice affects his friends.
O each individual has an incentive to eat as much as possible since no matter how much an individual
eats, it would not cost him extra money.
O eating the pizzas creates an externality.
